In my grid view there is a LinkButton and I have defined CommandName="Download" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("FileID")%>' for the LinkButton, but I do not know how to find click event for the Link Button? please help how I can code for this LinkButton with using e. CommandName

<asp:GridView ID="GridViewEfile" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#000000" GridLines="Both"  DataKeyNames="FileID">
    <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="Yellow" />
    <Columns>
       <asp:TemplateField>
           <ItemTemplate>
               <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" OnClick = "Retreive_file" CommandName="Download" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("FileID")%>'><%#Eval("FileName")%></asp:LinkButton>
           </ItemTemplate>
       </asp:TemplateField> 
   </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

You don’t have to use Click and Command events together. Command is enough.

protected void LinkButton1_Command(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
   // Do something with e.CommandName or e.CommandArgument
}

<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" OnCommand="LinkButton1_Command"
   CommandName="Download" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("FileID")%>'>
